An eBook is a book in digital form, which can be read on various electronic devices. A Springer eBook is identical to the print version.

Which eBook formats does Springer offer?

Springer eBooks are currently available for purchase in PDF and sometimes EPUB format.

If an eBook is available in PDF and EPUB formats, both will become available for download upon purchase.

Both formats can be used and read on various digital devices, including mobile phones.

EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display automatically.

PDF content is static; pages are displayed identically across devices.
